Today Tesla has announced a new variant of the model Y-Crossover for North America. Tesla fans have long waited for a cheaper entry model; This should be the model 2 of $ 25,000. But the development of that electric vehicle was suspended earlier last year when CEO Elon Musk began to lose his interest in making cars in favor of human -like robots.
However, car sales are still the vast majority of Tesla's turnover, and the abolition of the IRS tax reduction for clean vehicles at the end of September, the American EV sales may have put pressure in the third quarter of 2025, but the sale is expected to fall considerably in the current quarter.
The new Standard Range Model Y starts at $ 39,990, with a range of 321 miles (516 km) from the rear-wheel drive powertrain, compared to the now premium rear-wheel-driven model Y, which has an EPA range of 357 Mile (574 km). In the past, Tesla has placed software locked batteries in a smaller configuration; Here, however, we believe that the Standard Range Model Y uses a package of 69 kWh.
The cheaper model Y is dissatisfied in other ways. There is no AM or FM radio and no touchscreen in the back with which passengers can arrange their climate institutions. The roof is made of metal, not a panoramic glass, and there is a simpler center console and manual adjustment of the steering wheel. Tesla has reduced the choice of materials for the interior cladding, there is a less powerful soot filter (without HEPA mode) and there is no seat heating for the rear seat or cooling for the front seats.
